Greetings Ship Club!

It's that time again!  It's also Jerry Beasley's birthday!

Meeting Location:  Rockler Woodworking (in the basement)
2553 S. Colorado Blvd., Suite 108
Denver, Colorado  80222
Date:  March 7, 2020
Time:  10:00

I've had some down time due to two consecutive carpel tunnel surgeries, but I managed to get a couple of things close to being done as I type this message.  With a little cooperation from the modeling gods I'll actually have a few things to show you.

Can't find those special markings?  We're going to continue the discussion I believe Tim brought up about custom decals and dry transfers.  We'll talk about making your own decals as well as some companies that are out there who will make them for you. Some of my focus will be on stripes and use on ship models.


I received parts from a new company called Micro Master who print high quality 3D liquid resin printed parts.  Victor shared with us at a previous meeting how 3D printed parts are saving him a lot of time and providing better detail, not to mention saving you from torturing yourself with tiny photo etch parts.  The owner, Simon, produces parts in scales ranging from 1/700 and up.  




I'm going to show you an airbrush that's getting a lot of press.  It's the Mr. Hobby Procon Boy FWA Double Action airbrush.  The reason it's doing so well is because it appears to have been made by Iwata but it's half the price.


As always bring your questions, works in progress, or finished projects you would like to share with us.  

I look forward to seeing you all Saturday!
